Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

Progress is beginning to be made on my bridge, with the first draft of the bridge currently being planned out in excel (Thanks Bindi for sending me your plans as an example! ). Pic below is the side on view.

A few stats:
Length of Span : 220 blocks
Width of deck: 14 blocks
Height of main deck above sea level: 32
Height of top of bridge above sea level: 64 (ceiling limit)



and the reference pic I'm mainly using:



EDIT: I realise I haven't yet down the lower cross members between the vertical struts yet, dw they'll be there in the final version

 

eep that's huge

 

You can't build up to 64 because you need space to stand up, plus at 50 there are clouds passing through the top

Best drop it into the earth a bit.

 

For planning structures I use the Minecraft Structure Planner: http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dy227/minecraft_structure_planner_java_application/

This'll sum up how many blocks (as well as what type) you'll need to complete the project. as well as isometric view and a few other features.,
thought it might be useful

 

It was a sad night in BT MC yesterday;



But then Nealie miraculously resurrected!

 

and a good time was had by all. we had 11 of the 12 slots full on the server. lulz were had.

ive started construction on my new project. ill leave the details blurry for promotional reasons until it starts to take shape...but its going to be the largest structure ive built in minecraft. ive begun clearing the lot west of the casino, as its prime reality

 

It went far better than I feared when we first discovered the fire.. ..I'll be adding fire-barriers between the floors. So incase of miss-fire, it wont spread that uncontrollably.. I'm just happy that it happened this early in the build, now we know the dangers.

I kinda liked the fact that the fire spreaded out so quickly, it really shows how dangerous open flames are.. ..very realistic!

Anyhow, you've corrected the damage, the only downside was, I got at least 1 hour less sleep this night. But do you think my kids would let me sleep in.. ..oh no they didn't!

 

Hmm, in that case I might just lower the height of the parts below the deck, as atm it looks a bit too high anyway. It will make the two towers on either end a bit better proportioned (and more like the real life bridge) too

Yeh I had a look at that planner, problem is, for a structure this big, it was going to be too time consuming putting all the blocks in. Thanks anyway, I might use it for future projects

 

Just a random tip for anyone using excel: F4 repeats the last task and makes filling in coloured areas a lot quicker

most may know it but for those who don't it cant be half your working out time

 

this is totally my fault. but stickeh i need you to clear some bedrock from my castle please and thank you .that would be totally cool of you if you did please and thank you

 

Shout at me when i'm next on and we'll get it done

New carto, 7.18mb warning!

There's my tower!!

Payback is a B***ch!

I'm still surprised at how fast you buried me and put up flowers!

 

Does anyone know who built the castle with loads of torches on it? I've not seen anyone near it and I'd like to take over if possible.

 

No idea Redimp,

On a similar note, does anyone know who this belongs to?



Id quite like to remove it along with the HUGE cactus wall and do a bit of developing with the area.

Anyone have any objections?

 

^I hope both of you get to go for it. The torch castle belongs to Stickeh but half of it is cut off anyways so i don't think he minds anymore.

 

Guid craich last night all. Cheers. Some impressive builds. Also impressed with the server, wasn't much lag while I was there.

I very much liked Editor22's place. Props for that. Also enjoyed the museum which is worth a visit. Exhibits are bit sparse, but the funghi room is awesome. I also really liked the water-globe made with fences.

All-in-all looks like a good server and community you got here. Long may it continue.

 

You guys must have some pretty skilled builders, from what I can see form the carto there are some pretty cool structures on that server.

 

Some guy on minecraftforums showed me where I was going wrong with the win logic and how to do it, so I'm ready to work on it again! I'd love some cuboid magic to clear space for it, though.

 

I did that to stickeh with brick once. I forgot that brick is the hardest thing known to man, apart from obsidian...

 

Never ever EVER admit it dude! Whats wrong with you? Don't let your conscience get you to admit things!
